ARIA Award–winning singer-songwriter William Crighton’s fourth album Colonial Drift is out today.
A pioneer of Bush-Psych and a vital voice in Australian music, Crighton continues to weave stories of land, spirit, and struggle with raw intensity.
Written in collaboration with his wife Julieanne Crighton, Colonial Drift marks a personal and creatively expansive chapter. The album also includes writing contributions from the great Rob Hirst.
Also appearing on the record are Jeff Lang, William Barton, Jim Moginie (Midnight Oil), Matt Sherrod (Crowded House), Chris Dale (Melody Pool, Ben Leece), and Reuben Alexander (Ratcat, Ben Folds).
Recorded at The Grove Studios by Damian Charles, with a significant portion also crafted in Crighton’s own home studio, Colonial Drift stands as Crighton’s boldest work yet – uncompromising, expansive, and unmistakably his.
Colonial Drift is released by ABC Music and available on vinyl and CD from the artists webstore and all good music retailers.
